  1. They should be.
  2. I don't know. 15 deaths over 10 years doesn't seem like a lot. Was it deaths per year? By the way, I do think that banning weapons probably decreases deaths, but I don't think that the analysis is at all robust. Another thing I'd like to see is deaths for each year listed rather than clumps of 10 years. There could be one year with a bunch of deaths that is driving it.
  3. Before the ban, deaths were only 15 higher. That could just be random variation, but again you have to take into consideration more variables than just time.
  4. There were points I disagreed with too such as forgiving debt. I just thought it was a funny video. The clothes, the hair, the accent, ...
  5. This video is awesome. Even if you're a conservative and you disagree with it it's still awesome (need to have it on audio).
  6. So, they will probably be stuck with him for five years. He won't opt out because nobody will want him. Same thing with Baez if he continues to suck.
  7. How can anyone even stand to listen to her voice for more than 30 seconds.
  8. I don't think he sounds "smart". He just doesn't sound dumb which is a step up from Donald Trump who consistently sounds like a moron. Most politicians do not sound very intellectual to me. They do understand policy and law and know how to navigate our government bureacracy. Trump is too lazy to do that.
  9. It sounds as if Carlson is saying that American men are a bunch of cry babies who are dominated by women and they get their feelings hurt.
  10. Guns are not the reason why crazy people kill, but guns allow them to kill with great ease. That is the problem.
  11. No, they are narcissists by definition. You pretty much have to be a narcissist to spend your life trying to get votes. Naturally, some are worse than others.
  12. I don't know a lot about him. He seems to play to the same target audience as Trump. However, the Democrats made a mistake demonizing every Republican President. Then when they did the same with Trump who deserved it, it was like crying wolf. I expect I won't like DeSantis, but I don't know how much he is like Trump yet. I am 100% voting for whomever Democrat candidate is though. I won't consider any Republican until they clean up their embarrassing shit show.
  13. I wonder if he is still getting paid? He couldn't be. I'm not even sure Adduci could pull this off.
  14. These kinds of distinctions just serve as a distraction from the real issue. What difference does it make what you call it? Either way, it's an advanced machine whose only function is to kill people as quickly as possible.
  15. He is likely not broken, but he doesn't have a long enough track record to know how good he is. Is he an ace or his he Matt Boyd (who had similarly good stretch in 2019) ?
  16. Wow, Tucker Carlson blames the parade shooting on women nagging men about their male privilege (along with other dumb reasons)
  17. My top ten Tigers left fielders: 1. Bobby Veach 2. Willie Horton 3. Rocky Colavito 4. Bobby Higginson 5. Charlie Maxwell 6. Steve Kemp 7. Dick Wakefield 8. Matty McIntyre 9. Fats Fothergill 10. Goose Goslin
  18. Looking at the best WAR years with the Tigers: Kemp 3.3 4.2 3.5 3.8 Higginson 3.6 3.2 5.3 3.4 Higginson had more bad years at the end, but his peak was very similar to Kemp. Kemp had his bad years elsewhere.
  19. Yeah, it was a pretty big deal and something I actually looked forward to. There were so few games on TV back in the 70s that the Saturday afternoon and Monday Night games of the week were big events too. They hardly ever showed the Tigers except '76 when Fidrych was pitching, so I always hoped to see the Big Red Machine.
  20. He certainly wasn't the first player to enjoy women! Whether or not he did it more than others or it affected his play is pure speculation.
  21. Being compared to Steve Kemp is not a knock. I liked Higginson and I thought he and Clark got a bad rap as the best hitters on a bad team.
  22. I doubt I will watch the all-star game, but Cabrera does seem like the right choice if the have pick someone. He has been their only consistent hitter all year.
  23. Kemp and Higginson were similar. Kemp will always be remembered more for who he was traded for than what he did with the Tigers.
  24. I think being smart makes DeSantis potentially more dangerous, but only if he has the same intent as Trump. I am pretty sure deSantis' intentions are not good, but I don't know how bad they are. Trump was pretty easy to figure out. He hasn't changed in over 40 years. He was a horrible person before DeSantis was even born.
